About Dubbadhu
Dubbadhu means “Speak” in Afaan Oromo. The brand promise is Speak with Confidence: native conversation and speaking practice, not flashcards. It is the speaking-first language learning app from Afaan LLC for African languages—available on the App Store and Google Play. Amharic and Tigrinya are in development.
